If we filled nitrogen in tires the running temperature reduces dramatically and the result is longer tyre life. In case of tubeless tires nitrogen doesn't reacts with rims.

We call them meteors, and scientist’s believe that they are broken fragments of comets, which still move about in space when the comet itself does so no longer. We see them when they enter our atmosphere because they leave a trail of light behind them, caused by the friction of the air on their surfaces. Most meteors are very small, but some can weigh several tens, and the vast majority of them disintegrate when they pass through the heat of the earth’s atmospheres. But some meteors, the larger ones, do land on earth, and when they do we call them meteorites. There are two main types of meteor – those made of minerals, which look like rock and are called aerolites, and those made chiefly of nickel and iron, which were call metallic meteors. Although it is very rare for a meteorite to fall on dry land, scientists think that many fall to earth every day, but that they land in the water which makes up two thirds of the earth’s surface. This is why we hardily ever notice when they do hit the earth.</span></div><div><br /></div>Solutionsnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4960220226504525293.post-45141063631818144142010-08-31T09:59:00.000-07:002010-08-31T10:03:35.085-07:00How do we see?<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">The human eye is shaped like a ball with a bulge in the front. In the middle of this bulge is a hole called the pupil, which is the part we see as the black circle in the middle of the colored iris. The pupil lets in light to the eye. Behind it is the lens, which focuses the picture of what we can see. When light passes through the lens. It is turned upside down, so that an upside down pictures is the image which hits the retina.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">The retina is the part of the eye which actually makes sense of what we see. It is sensitive to light, and can sort out all the different colours we see. When light hits the cells of the retina, a chemical change takes place in the cells. This starts message or impulses in the optic nerve at the back of the eye, which takes these message to the brain. The brain turns the images the right way up, and identifies them as something we can recognize. Have you ever wondered why the pupils of the eyes grow bigger and smaller? This happens according to the amount of light available. In bright light, the pupil closes up to black speck, letting through only enough light to be able to see without damaging the retina. When the light is very dim, the pupil opens up to let in as much light as possible, so that, again, we can see.</span></div><div><br /></div>Solutionsnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4960220226504525293.post-30569542638974330492010-07-17T08:30:00.000-07:002010-07-17T08:36:03.747-07:00How do animals and plants depend upon each other?<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:27.0pt;text-align:justify"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">The sun is the driving force in all of the Earth’s processes. It is the sun’s rays that keep our planet warm enough for us to be able to survive, it is the weather’s motor, and provides energy for the most important process of all so far as plants and animals are concerned. The sun provides plants with the energy for photosynthesis. It is by photosynthesis that plants use the sun’s energy to convert carbon dioxide taken in from the air, and water from the soil in to the sugars and starches that make up their stems, leaves, and roots. It is a little more complicated than this, and plants need other substances as well, but this is the important process. Photosynthesis only occurs in plants that contain the complex green pigment chlorophyll, in other words in green plants.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:27.0pt;text-align:justify"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Other types of plants depend on other means of manufacturing these materials. It is interesting to note that green plants can store energy so that photosynthesis can even occur at night.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:27.0pt;text-align:justify"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">We now have the basic food supply for the rest of the planet’s the basic food supply for the rest of the planet’s life forms. You know that cows, for example, eat grass. Without grass or other plant material available, cows could not survive. We then make use of the cow’s ability to digest grass and convert into meat and milk which we eat and drink. Thus, the cow is a herbivore, that is, an animal that feeds on plants. When we eat meat, we are behaving as carnivores or meat eaters. This demonstrate a simple chain of events, in fact, it is known as a food chain. The grass grows and is eaten by the cow which is eaten by man.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:27.0pt;text-align:justify"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">There are many other such chains. A fox may feed on rabbits, which may be eating clover. The clover may be dependent not only on the sun, water, and the air, but also on bees for pollination. These chains can be disturbed quite easily sometimes with far reaching effects. For example, should bees become reduced in number for any reason, such as a farmer using insecticides, in time the amount of clover would fall back and the rabbits might be forced to feed on the farmer’s lettuces. Obviously, the farmer will not be happy about this and may set about reducing the rabbit population. If he was too enthusiastic and all the rabbits in an area were to be wiped out, the fox would have to look elsewhere for its meals – it might even be the same farmer’s chickens.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:27.0pt;text-align:justify"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Try to imagine multiplying these simple chains thousand of times to take the multitudes of different animals and plants into account. Now you begin to have some idea of the complicated nature of life on our planet, how animals and plants depend upon their surroundings and each other, and how easily the balance can be upset.</span><o:p></o:p></p>Solutionsnoreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4960220226504525293.post-55808930003161192202010-06-28T06:48:00.000-07:002010-06-28T06:55:32.276-07:00Who stole the British crown jewels?<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:27.0pt;text-align:justify"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">You might think nobody would have the skill or the courage to steal something as precious and easily recognizable as the crown jewels.

Centuries ago men carried weapons; usually in their right hands (most people are right-handed). When one man wanted to show friendship to another, he threw down his weapons and offered his empty right hand to the other person as a sign of peace. The custom has remained. You should shake hands firmly as it is a sign of friendliness or agreement, and a limp, weak handshake does not seem genuine. But you have to be careful not to overdo it, or hurt the other person’s hand!</span></span></p>Solutionsnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4960220226504525293.post-46518064712685273832010-06-07T04:37:00.000-07:002010-06-07T04:38:28.355-07:00Who was Sir Isaac Newton?<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:27.0pt;text-align:justify"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:27.0pt;text-align:justify"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Sir Isaac Newton is often considered to be the world’s finest scientist.

Then in 1918 an announcement came that all the royal family as well as four of their servants, had been killed. No bodies were ever found, and there was doubt at the time as to whether all the royal family were killed. Several people later claimed to the members of the Tsar’s family, and the one who claim to be the Tsar’s youngest daughter, Anastasia. Although some relatives of the Tsar refuted her claim, others have confirmed it. Her claim is still being urged by her friends and certain members of the Romanov family. If she is indeed Anastasia, she may be able to tell the world exactly what happened to her family.

Points are won and lost as the horses, one after the other, attempt each obstacles on a specially prepared course. Some times, extra points are awarded to the horse which completes the course successfully in the fastest time.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Some of the special walls on a show-jumping course are made of brick, and if the horse kicks any of the bricks off the wall as it goes over the top it will lose its rider points. Fences are often made of wooden poles, and again, none of the poles must be kicked out of place by the horse if its rider is to score full points. Also there are often ditches filled with water, which the horses must be able to clear. If a horse refuses to jump a fence, it will mean a serious loss of points, And if a horse throws its rider out of the saddle, this is worse still.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Show-jumping is popular with millions of people today who can see such contests on television.

They are trained to lead their blind master down a street so that he won’t bump into other people or walk into building or lamp posts. They are also taught to stop at the curb and not lead their master across the road until the traffic has stopped or is a safe distance away. As they are highly intelligent animals, they can even help their masters safely in and out of buses and trains.</span></span></div>Solutionsnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4960220226504525293.post-49287610662596601292009-11-29T08:45:00.000-08:002009-12-01T05:39:43.150-08:00Who are the Bedouins?<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The Bedouins are a nomadic Arab tribe whose name is derived from badawi meaning ‘desert-dweller’.

Their Pattern of life is determined by the grazing needs of their flocks which they follow all the year round, living in black goats’ hair tents. Traditionally they despise agricultural or manual work, and happiest tending their herds of sheep, camels and highly-bred horses.</span></span></div>Solutionsnoreply@blogger.com0
